EX rank supporting role’s replay in a prestigious school-Chapter 1075: Night Outpost (18)

In Plumago, I have been thinking for a long time about the identity of the mastermind that I could not find out until the end.

I have made numerous assumptions and thoughts, but there was always a thought that I assumed.

Whatever the identity of the mastermind is, it must be hidden in a secret and vicious way.

The mastermind must have prepared a means to attack those who try to find out his identity.

I don’t know if it is to mentally torture the tigers like now or to lead them to the wrong thoughts.

‘The mastermind must know that Cheongho’s memories will be known to the clans. So let’s use this to our advantage... ... .’

The tigers seemed to be thinking of following my suggestion without saying anything, but that was limited to the tigers.

Yong Je-geon asked in a very excited voice.

“The clans would probably follow what Eui-shin says, so I won’t ask, but I am curious about Eui-shin’s intentions. Why should I?”

“Yong Je-geon, you are also thinking of following, but you talk too much.”

“Mr. Hwang Ho, you’re curious too.”

While Yong Je-geon and Hwang Ji-ho were talking, Kim Shin-rok tried to poke his friend’s side with his elbow several times.

However, Yong Je-geon quickly moved his body to dodge them all, and Kim Shin-rok kept making empty strikes.

While the two were fighting and poking each other with all their heart, a short ‘swoosh’ sound ripped through the air.

He said while watching the fight between our school teachers.

“It’s possible that the mastermind led them. We have to pretend to go along with them first so that we can figure out their intentions.”

“Isn’t it possible that we thought properly and caught the mastermind off guard? The mastermind hasn’t done much of what he wanted to do so far.”

“That could be possible. However, there are four things that bother me about determining the identity of the mastermind.”

Yong Je-geon was one step ahead of Kim Shin-rok, dodging everything while moving his mouth.

The tigers didn’t really care because they were used to watching the two of them do that.

If it were a red tiger, they would care a little, but right now, because of the Ungnyeo of Sorrow, their condition was not good, so they would probably just leave their son alone as long as he wasn’t hurt.

The tigers’ faces were still shadowed.

“There are four?”

“It seems like there are more, but it seems like they’re certain of four. Let me start with the certain ones... ... .”

“Of course. Brother Baekho, I want to hear what Brother Yisin has to say, so please stay still. Brother Yisin, would you like to speak?”

The distracted atmosphere calmed down as Eunho spoke in a voice that felt strong.

The first head of the clan that had been through a lot of chaos seemed to think that cleaning up this mess was nothing.

I listed the parts that were on my mind one by one.

“First are Poongbaek and Usaya. Poongbaek and Usaya have been following the mastermind for a long time. According to Unsa, they chose to hide behind the power of the gods and the gods while expressing their awe.”

My eyes turned to Unsa, who was lying down and watching me.

Cheongho, who had not yet heard Unsa’s story, looked astonished, while Yongjegeon looked at him with anticipation.

Unsa agreed with my words with sad eyes.

Poongbaek and Woosa showed their displeasure at the will that said, “If I die, I will follow the leader of the clan,” and revealed their intentions to Unsa.

And although they had betrayed, they still showed awe at the power of the gods and the gods.

“And the time Poongbaek and Woosa betrayed was before the heavens opened. It was before Yeongin had fulfilled his wish and received the protection of the gods, and before he received divinity from the god who had become human with Cheongho.”

“I see!”

Yongjegeon, who was quick-witted, quickly figured out the story involving Poongbaek, Woosa, and Unsa.

It seemed that the reason why the dying Unsa was here and what I was trying to say were not understood.

In addition, Yong Je-geon said something that other tigers could not bring themselves to say.

“But isn’t it possible that Young-in hid his power? He could have learned the nature of Poong-baek and Woo-sa and shown them his true power to persuade them. If I were Young-in, I would have hidden my power and endured it for a long time and prepared. Because I want to hit Cheon-shin.”

Bang!

When he said that, Kim Shin-rok really hit Yong-je-geon.

Yong-je-geon didn’t dodge, but instead received Kim Shin-rok’s punch with his palm.

There are ways to dodge or block it with space magic, but it seemed like he just took the hit.

I decided to answer Yong-je-geon’s question.

“That could be possible. But there’s something that bothers me.”

“Does that have anything to do with the part where you’re worried?”

“Yes, the second thing that bothered me was Shin-in.”

I looked at Gong Cheong-hwan as I said this.

Gong Cheong-hwan listened with an unwavering attitude even in this chaos.

Even when the Jin clans here looked at Gong Cheong-hwan, they still smiled kindly.

Because he had such strong concentration and mental strength, even the noble clans must have trusted and followed him.

“Even in the mythical era, and even now that he is Mr. Gong Cheong-hwan, the Shinin can sense threats to the Korean Peninsula.”

“I have that kind of power, but I am not omnipotent.”

“Yes, but even now, he does not miss major threats. That’s why he moved as soon as Hwang Ji-ho was in danger, and that’s why he trusted me and kept watching over me.”

Gong Cheong-hwan felt the nightmare I was carrying, and he also sensed Hwang Ji-ho’s danger.

Meanwhile, Yong Je-geon, who had also realized the meaning of my words, let out an exclamation.

“Is Yi-shin a threat to the Korean Peninsula? Really? “Yeong Je-geon’s benefactor and our classmate, Ui-shin?”

Yong Je-geon’s face twisted into an ecstatic smile.

Kim Shin-rok quickly pulled out the fist that was in Yong Je-geon’s hand with a face that said he had seen something he shouldn’t have seen.

As Yong Je-geon said, a benefactor and a student could ruin the Korean peninsula, but I don’t know what’s so great about it.

I wonder if I was the only one who thought that, but no one answered Yong Je-geon’s question that was unclear whether it was an exclamation or a question.

I also said as if Yong Je-geon wasn’t there.

“The power and plan of the mastermind are a threat to this world. If such a being was by his side, the new person would have felt something. And if the new person felt threatened, even if he trusted the other person, he wouldn’t have taken his eyes off them. At the very least, he wouldn’t have left without any countermeasures and entrusted all his power to that person.”

Gong Cheong-hwon also nodded, as if he was convinced by these words.

If Young-in really was the mastermind, Gong Cheong-hwon would not have left his side or would have made a plan.

Since the newcomer’s memory had not returned, I could not confirm the exact details, but I was certain that there was something.

After a short silence, Hwang Ji-ho asked.

“Jo Ui-shin, can you tell me about the remaining two?”

I looked back at Baekho-gun this time.

Baekho-gun naturally knew that I would look in that direction and talk, so he raised the corners of his mouth as if he had been waiting for me.

I barely managed to hold back from saying that he was just a white tiger.

“Do you remember when that white... ... Baekho escaped a certain bear tribe from the Eunyoung Hall of the 4th Research Building of Gwanglim?”

As soon as I asked this question, Jeok-ho, who had been absent-minded, reflexively spoke.

It seemed that his love for his son was still triggered automatically.

“Of course I remember. How could I forget when that crazy tiger knocked my son unconscious and sparred with an impersonator?”

“Baekho, you’re really crazy.”

Following Jeok-ho, Cheong-ho also spoke coldly.

Although Cheongho was a student now, Kim Shinrok was a descendant of a powerful family and a disciple, so Baekho-gun could not possibly look kindly upon him.

Cheongho seemed to have a lot to say, but I spoke first.

“I found out Cheongho and Shinin’s whereabouts through that impersonator. Here’s the information I found out then.”

After taking out Baek-ah and dealing with the impersonator, Baekho-gun obtained some information.

What Baekho-gun wanted to find out was Cheongho and Shinin’s whereabouts.

― Shinin’s real wish was to ‘become human,’ and it is said that Cheonshin granted it.

Since Cheongho and Shinin were actually human, there was no room for doubt in this information.

However, there were parts of this information that did not match what actually happened.

“Cheongho and Shinin became human. However, this was not something Cheonshin granted. Strictly speaking, it was something Yeongin granted. In a broad sense, it could be said that it was a collaboration between the spirit and the new man, but it cannot be said that it was a wish granted by the heavenly god.”

The impersonator had incorrect information.

It did not seem that the impersonator had fooled Baekho-kun.

There may be incorrect information circulating among the Ungjok.

I continued to say the fourth thing that bothered me.

“And the last thing that ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) bothered me was Cheongho’s body.”

It was a little difficult to say this.

But I decided not to stop because I had already said what I couldn’t say.

“If I were the mastermind and could use the power of a spirit... ... The moment the new man became human and Cheongho lost consciousness, I would have discarded all the bodies that the new man had made out of clay.”

The tigers seemed to have anticipated what I was saying to some extent.

I hate to imagine it, but if the spirit was the mastermind, then it was inevitable that Cheongho and the new man would have suffered even more terrible things.

Hwang Ji-ho opened his mouth with difficulty.

“... ... Couldn’t he have kept Cheongho alive because he cared for him as a close friend? Since he was a close friend, he might have granted his wish and made him human even if it meant destroying the Korean peninsula.”

The tiger, who cared for his close friend so much, seemed to have such a wonderful thought.

That might be possible, but it was hard to agree when considering what the mastermind had done so far.

“Even so, he must have destroyed the body made of clay. If he wanted to keep him alive, wouldn’t it have been better to just keep him as Cheongho, a true race?”

And I reminded the tigers of what they wanted to forget.

“Don’t forget what the mastermind did with Cheongho’s body.”

I heard Yong Je-geon say, “What did he plan to do with Cheongho’s body? Tell me too.”, but no one answered properly.

Instead, Hwang Ji-ho answered.

“I understand what Jo Ui-shin meant.”

Hwang Ji-ho spoke with a face that was half questioning and half relieved.

He still had questions about Yeong-in, but he seemed to like my idea.

“From now on, the Hojok will operate under the assumption that Yeong-in is the mastermind.”

When I woke up feeling like I had closed my eyes for a moment, it was already morning.

I was prepared to stay up all night because there was a lot of work to do, but the tigers wouldn’t allow it, so Baekho-gun was watching.

I ended up taking a nap.

Since the final match that would decide the outcome of the Korea-China-Japan Exchange Match was coming up, I couldn’t just sleep at all, so I decided to just leave the work to the tigers.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Huh?”

As soon as I woke up, the white tiger spoke to me.

It used to guard near the door, but now it was openly watching me from the side.

Now that the existence of the nightmare has become known, the tiger is also confident.

My left eyelid felt particularly heavy, so I blinked several times and checked the device.

There were numerous messages of support on the device, but one caught my eye.

[Andain] Good morning, Eui-shin.

I smiled involuntarily at Andain’s morning greeting, but I couldn’t laugh at the sentence that followed.

[Andain] I’ve come to pick you up. I’ll wait.
